Brian Eno - By This River download song

everyone is connecting this song to a nostalgic moment in their life but I think this song is about nostalgia as a whole. it's amazing to remember good moments but even the best ones always have this underlying deep sadness for some reason. you don't always know why you thought of it in the first place but the emotions and thoughts will instantly humble you. you get this strong feeling of empathy for anyone involved in that memory and a strange sense that you did something wrong because you subcontiously reflect on your faults and mistakes of that time in your life. your left in a neutral state but one of fleeting extreme sadness and extreme happiness that even each other out. Then it's gone. and your left a bit taken back, but nothing you haven't had before. so you continue about what you were doing but with a weird feeling, not bad or good but instead almost refreshing. it's like the air after it rains. It's a bit revitalizing and not extremely noticeable but it's there and you feel it.

Here we are Stuck by this river You and I Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down Ever falling down Through the day As if on an ocean Waiting here Always failing to remember why we came, came, came I wonder why we came You talk to me As if from a distance And I reply With impressions chosen from another time, time, time From another time

I heard this song in TV, I grabbed a pen and wrote 2 lines of the song in my arm and i googled them. first it didn't work out, then I found it. Now I'm enjoying this beautiful melody.

everyone dies some day that's alright

I note how often Eno's lyrics are about isolation, being lost. They often exude a particularly English melancholy, mellow and autumnal.

is it possible to marry a song? ♥♥♥

La stanza del figlio. How beautifully Nanni Moretti used this song in that masterpiece.

This is either suicide music or holding hands with your lover staring at the sky music.

I knew this melody by alva noto & ryuichi sakamoto but it is surprising that it came from Brian eno and that both have that same harmony

Who agrees that Eno is genius?

I was sitting at an empty beach, listening on headphones when I first heard this album. I will never forget the experience, sitting there, watching the water, listening to something that I thought, had never been listened to before and feeling like Columbus discovering new music.

this is not peaceful, this is desperation
